So I've posted this just about everywhere else, but why not another board too?

I'm working on a Captain Rex. The suit will be evolving over time... I'm starting off with a movie style clone kit, and once I'm done building it, I'm going to start my first ever vacuum forming project: replacing parts with more animated style armor.

In the mean time, I'm doing as much to the kit as I can to get it to have the look I want.

I'm going to make one relatively quick Hasbro mod to get started, then I'm going to a new one with some earnest effort at Toon style. Basically a week on a "quick" one so that I have something, then I'll take however long it takes for the perfect one.

The shoulder bells I'm using are modified scout trooper, rather than normal clone, since they have a better shape for the toon than the "real" stuff. (the one on the right is the keeper)

The armor is as seamless as I can get it... I need a velcro seam in the shin, but all else is filled and smoothed nicely. The shin sculpt in my kit doesn't lend itself well to the OSCS style of seamless shins.

I'm making the Rex pauldron out of tooling leather:
